Binge drinking----
There was a wonderful title to an album from the 70's - "What Were Once Vices Are Now Habits"
And that's what happens so often. My binges just became my normal drinking.
There are all kinds of ways to get better and change your life. I've been to a few AA meetings and I certainly won't rule it out in the future. Currently I see an addiction therapist every week and I'm on this site several times a day.
Take a good look around and see what works for you.
